No question.......I might look at a low mileage used example once the prices come down to 60-70k...........which should be in a year or two!

And you know this because you have 100k miles on your car already? Or are you just making an assumption? Not knocking the ZR-1 in any way as it's a very impressive automobile.

Both very impressive automobiles. ZR1 didnt get crushed as bad as I thought it would. Nasty GTR though.
OT: I used to think that given equal power there is no way the Two Ton Terror will keep up with cars like ZR1, Viper, GT2 etc. But after seeing a few vids of Godzilla against similar powered cars and how close the race is, to a point of course, Im realizing the tranny is the star of the show and is a spectacular piece of tech. It just never drops out of the power range.
I love manuals. But if they offered the GTR's tranny and awd system as an option to every car I think Id pass on the manual at least for awhile. A human just cant compete against it with a manual unless the manual car is making gobs more power.
Not that the weight of the GTR is hampering it badly but Id love to see its powertrain and driveline in lighter [2900-3300lb] package. I think that would own everything stock to stock. Wonder if Jun would do a swap into a 370z or even a Sylvia like they did with the older 350z and R34 Skyline.

The trans tech is certainly incredible, in this video you see that for every time the ZR1 shifts, the GTR pulls ahead just that much...

If someone can get behind the scenes with the GTR and strip out half a ton, the performance will be ungodly..
Where are all the ex NA Honda guys that purchased these?

Nearly identical performance...
If any of you have given the GTR a good look over, it is very hard to find all of the weight... The Japanese obviously have excellent weight hiding technology.

Ah yes, the notorious "highly modified" car vs stock
What is the result of a stock ZR1 vs a stock GTR again? Exactly...........

Have you guys gotten any 60-130 times with the 800hp GT-R? I'm curious what it runs. Thanks.
